REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar tomorrow, Thurs., 11/14 @ 12:30pm in BRK 2001.  Presenter is Amy Marconnet ***Please note time change, presentation will start at 12:30pm****


Dear all,

The next BNC Faculty Seminar will be this Thursday, 11/14 @ 12:30pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Amy Marconnet.

***Please note time change, presentation will start at 12:30pm****

Amy Marconnet<https://engineering.purdue.edu/MTEC>, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering  will present an overview of her work on nanoengineering materials for thermal transport for the first half then the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck.

Nanoengineering Materials for Thermal Transport

Abstract: Nanostructuring materials allows independent control of multiple materials properties. High conductivity materials such as carbon nanotube forests are useful as thermal interface materials (TIMs) for dissipating power in electronic devices, while low conductivity materials like nanoporous silicon for thermal barrier coatings and enhanced thermoelectric performance. Beyond thermal transport, storage of thermal energy is critical for effective heat removal for applications involving highly-transient heat fluxes, and during material processing. Often to achieve the desired functionality, multiples materials are combined together to form heterogeneous composites. For example, in lithium ion batteries, the particulate active materials (with micro- and nano-scale features) are sandwiched between metal electrodes and polymer-based separators with microscale thicknesses to form macroscale battery cells. This seminar will discuss methods to understand and control thermal transport and development of accurate and reliable experimental and analytical techniques for thermal characterization across multiple length scales. Further, I will highlight the integration of material synthesis with thermal property measurements and physics-based analysis to provide new avenues for improved materials and device performance.
